A faster problem-solving tool that guarantees feasibility
Managing a power grid is like trying to solve an enormous puzzle. Grid operators must ensure the proper amount of power is flowing to the right areas at the exact time when it is needed, and they must do this in a way that minimizes costs without overloading physical infrastructure. Even more, they must solve this complicated problem repeatedly, as rapidly as possible, to meet constantly changing demand. To help crack this consistent conundrum, MIT researchers developed a […]

Language Models: A 75-Year Journey That Didn’t Start With Transformers
Introduction Language models have existed for decades — long before today’s so-called “LLMs.” In the 1990s, IBM’s alignment models and smoothed n-gram systems trained on hundreds of millions of words set performance records. By the 2000s, the internet’s growth enabled “web as corpus” datasets, pushing statistical models to dominate natural language processing (NLP). Yet, many believe language modelling began in 2017 with Google’s Transformer architecture and BERT. In reality, Transformers revolutionized scalability but were just one step in a much […]

MIT scientists debut a generative AI model that could create molecules addressing hard-to-treat diseases
More than 300 people across academia and industry spilled into an auditorium to attend a BoltzGen seminar on Thursday, Oct. 30, hosted by the Abdul Latif Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health (MIT Jameel Clinic). Headlining the event was MIT PhD student and BoltzGen’s first author Hannes Stärk, who had announced BoltzGen just a few days prior. Building upon Boltz-2, an open-source biomolecular structure prediction model predicting protein binding affinity that made waves over the summer, BoltzGen (officially released on Sunday, […]

Baby delivered in Waymo continues proud tradition of not making it to the hospital
A pregnant woman in San Francisco gave birth inside a Waymo robotaxi Monday night en route to UCSF Medical Center, marking the latest milestone in the driverless car saga that no one saw coming — except everyone with more than six months of experience behind the wheel of a ride-share vehicle.
